Best Sushi Restaurants in Hoffman Estates

We've been going to Benihana for more than 16 years to celebrate special occasions. We started going as a couple, then as husband and wife, and now we go as a family of 4. Food is always great and service is too. Prices have gone up a lot in the last 2-3 years, and we understand that's true for a lot of restaurants. However, the $30 offered for a bday certificate has remained the same. I feel they should increase this amount for guests since Benihana has increased their prices. They should offer guests $45.

Service was great. Definitely a different food experience.

Great food and great environment. There was live music that was fantastic!

We very much enjoyed PL8 and plan to return. The food was very good, and the service was attentive. The vibe is fun and a bit eclectic. The owner engaged with us which was a nice touch. The one thing that would help is better descriptions of the ingredients and prep in each menu item so that guests have a better idea of what they’re ordering. My husband ordered a dish he frequently chooses at other Chinese restaurants, and the prep and ingredients at PL8 were much different than what he was expecting. The dish was good, but not what he’d had in mind.

These days, with inflation driving up the cost of everything, it’s hard to find a good deal. But at Shabu-Yo, you get unlimited fresh vegetables, beef, pork, and seafood—plus a great selection of ready-made dishes and desserts. On top of that, the staff are always friendly and welcoming. The overall value you get is well worth the price. Highly recommended!
